BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to novel benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives and preparation of the compounds and an antihyperlipidemic agent comprising the compound as the active ingredient. 2. Description of the Prior Art
It has been known to clinically use ethyl-α-(p-chlorophenoxy)-isobutylate and analogous compounds; nicotinic acid derivatives; hormones such as protein assimilation steroids; unsaturated aliphatic acid such as linoleic acid; cholestylamine and β-sitosterols as an antihyperlipidemic agent (D.O.S. No. 2,250,327 and D.O.S. No. 2,003,430).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives which are effective for remedy of hyperlipidemic.
It is the other object of the present invention to provide a process for producing novel benzoyl phenoxy acetic acids.
The foregoing and other objects of the present invention have been attained by providing benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives having the formula ##STR2## wherein R1 represents hydrogen or halogen atom or a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxyl group; and R2 represents hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group which impart excellent antihyperlipidemic activity.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The inventors have studied on the preparations of various benzophenone derivatives and the pharmacological characteristics of the benzophenone derivatives.
As the result, it has been found that the novel benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives having the formula (I) impart excellent antihyperlipedemic activity. The benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) also impart excellent anticoagulant and antiinflammatory activities.
In the formula I, R1 is hydrogen atom or halogen atom i.e. -F, -I, -Br or -Cl; a C1 -C4 alkyl group or a C1 -C4 alkoxy group and R2 is hydrogen atom or a C1 -C4 alkyl group especially ethyl group.
The benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) can be produced by reacting a compound having the formula ##STR3## with α-halogenocyclohexyl acetate having the formula ##STR4## wherein X represents a halogen atom and R3 is a C1 -C4 alkyl group; if necessary, hydrolyzing the product.
In the production of the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivative (I), it is preferable to react the compound (II) with the α-halogenocyclohexyl acetate (III) in the presence of a solvent.
The compounds having the formula III wherein X is -I, -Br or -Cl are preferably used. In the reaction, the equimolar amount of α-halogenocyclohexyl acetate (III) is usually reacted with the compound (II). However, it is possible to use excess of either of the compound (II) or the compound (III).
The solvents are organic solvents being inert under the reaction condition such as dimethyl formamide and acetone. The mixed solvent can be used for the reaction.
For example, the reaction can be accelerated by adding a base such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium methylate and sodium ethylate.
It is possible to separate a reaction product obtained by reacting the base with the compound (II), from the reaction system and then, to react the compound (III) with the separated reaction product.
The reaction conditions such as temperature, time and pressure can be decided depending upon the starting materials, the solvent and the base.
The reaction is usually completed at room temperature for 1 to 2 days; or at about 100 to 180° C. for 1 to 6 hours.
The reaction products (I) can be separated and purified by the conventional separating methods such as the concentration; the concentration under a reduced pressure; the distillation; the distillation under a reduced pressure; the fractional distillation; the conversion of alkalinity or acidity; the solvent extraction; the crystallization; the recrystallization; the inversion and the chromatography.
The formulae, boiling points, IR and NMR of typical benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (III) are shown in Table 1.

The above-mentioned conditions of the production of the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) can be applied for those of the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (IV).
The novel benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) impart excellent antihyperlipidemic activity and they are effective as an antihyperlipidemic agent for hyperlipidemia remedy.
The benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) have low toxicity and they do not cause hepatic disease (hepatitis) which is found by the administration of ethyl-α-(p-chlorophenoxy)-isobutyrate.
The antihyperlipidemic agent of the present invention comprising the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivative (I) can be orally administrated in the form of tablet, capsule, powder or granules; and also they can be parenterally administrated in the form of injectable, suppository or pellet.
The benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivative (I) can be combined with the other antihyperlipidemic agent, a hypotensive agent or an anticoagulant agent.
The dose of the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivative (I) is usually in a range of 50 to 2500 mg preferably 250 to 1000 mg per day per adult in oral dose.
The above-mentioned considerations on the benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (I) can be also applied for the reference compounds of benzoyl phenoxy acetic acid derivatives (IV) though the effects of the reference compound (IV) are inferior to those of the compounds (I).
The invention will be further illustrated by certain examples and references.
